Growth Financing FBDC specializes in long-term, below-market, fixed-rate financing for acquisition and development of fixed assets via the SBA 504 Program, presenting cross-sell opportunities with small business loan packages, refinancing options, and asset expansion projects for Florida-based clients.

Leadership Change Newly appointed President and CEO Monica Cupid as of April 2026 signals potential strategic shifts, leadership-driven initiatives, and renewed focus on expanding partnerships and outreach to underserved Florida businesses.

Strategic Partnerships Existing collaboration with Catalyst Community Capital and emphasis on expanding access to capital aligns with potential co-lending, referral programs, and joint marketing to reach a broader small-business customer base.

Market Position As the most active CDC on the east coast with revenue in the multi-million range and a sizable employment footprint, there are opportunities to leverage credibility for additional SBA 504 deals, national lender partnerships, and scalable SBA program advocacy.

Tech & Reach Adoption of a modern tech stack (AWS, Webflow, WordPress, Shopify, Clarity, Brevo/Mailgun) suggests readiness for digital marketing, lead nurturing, and streamlined application workflows to improve conversion, onboarding, and cross-sell of financing products.
